There was a topic posted today saying Reggie Miller was snubbed from being a 10 time all-star but basically gave zero evidence of that. I decided to make an actual detailed post stating his case (or lack thereof) each year he didn't make the all-star game over a 13 year span.

I'll go through each year from 1990 to 2002 to determine each year if he should have made it and who he should have replaced if he didn't. Pre-1990 Miller has zero case to be an all-star and same goes for post-2002.

1990 All-star game: Miller made it and deserved it. This was the most prolific scoring season of his entire career.

1991: Didn't make it. East guards were Jordan, Dumars, Ricky Pierce, Hersey Hawkins, Alvin Roberson, and Isiah Thomas. Let's go through these options one by one.

Michael Jordan: No debate here, this was arguably Jordan's best season.

Joe Dumars: Was on a much more successful team than Miller (50 wins versus 41). Miller scored more and more efficiently and the advanced stats all favor Miller. However Dumars was a substantially better defender and made the all-defensive 2nd team. I'll call it a tie overall.

Ricky Pierce: This was his only career all-star selection. He was still playing for Milwaukee at this point but would soon get traded to Seattle. Pierce was a substantially better scorer per 36 minutes and was on a better performing team. The advanced stats are mixed here, Pierce had a better PER and Miller was better in other stats. Overall I think Miller deserved the nod but it's close.

Hersey Hawkins: This was also his only all-star appearance. A much better defensive player than Miller but I think the difference in offense is enough that Miller deserved the nod here as a reserve.

Alvin Robertson: He led the league in steals and made the all-defensive first team. On the other hand his scoring was just nowhere near Miller's but he was a much better rebounder and passer. This is the type of choice that made sense for the league back then but considering what we value now, a difference choice would've been made. Robertson also actually had a superior BPM but worse win shares. I think this was a solid choice.

Isiah Thomas: Besides passing had a pretty bad season and was injured by the all-star game to boot. He had no business being on the team, and Miller deserved the spot here as a reserve. But there was no injury replacement for him.

Overall 1991: Miller got snubbed and deserved to be a reserve.

1992: Miller did

TL;DR

Made all-time hometown rosters with original 30 NBA teams + 25 new teams to split populated areas and big teams (spreadsheet + map)

Player Pool and Team Pool

I used the top 969 players who have at least 10000 minutes played in their career.

Why 10000 minutes played? Because that's the lower standard set by Basketball-Reference to get on their ABA career leaderboard (15000 MP for NBA). I added George Mikan, because even though he hasn't played enough minutes, he's featured in All-Time ESPN NBARank and Bill Simmons Hall of Fame Pyramid.

I started off with the current 30 teams. To split up the Lakers and Clippers, I gave the Clippers their proposed Inglewood site.

As I looked at the map of player hometowns, I realized that there were:

• some areas that had a lot of players, but few close NBA teams
• some areas that had bloated rosters with too many players

Based off city population and arena size, I added 25 new teams.

• I obviously had to give Seattle their team back
• Birmingham, North Little Rock and Shreveport helped to split up the South
• Pittsburgh and St. Louis were big cities without teams
• Berkeley added to siphon off San Francisco
  • if I add Oakland, it takes away too many players
• Anaheim and Westwood added in Southern California (Clippers & Lakers)
• Winston-Salem and Raleigh to pare down Charlotte
• Lansing to prune Detroit
• 2nd Atlanta team in suburb of College Park
• 2nd Washington team and Baltimore
• 2 more teams in Chicago (Rosemont and South Side) + a team in Gary
• 2nd Indiana team + Louisville & Lexington
• 2nd Philadelphia team in suburb of Wynnewood
• 3 more teams in the New York Area (Newark, Queens and Long Island)

The Method

I started off gathering hometowns due to this fantastic database by Reuben Fischer-Baum ([original article source here](https://deadspin.com/infographics-where-do-pro-basketball-players-come-from-5132615

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

2000-01 NBA Newswire

EARLY SEASON TRADES

Knicks sends Derek Anderson (8.06, 58/60, 27 yr, 2004), Cedric Henderson (840k, 50/56, 26 yr, 2002), Larry Johnson (1.9, 58/58, 32 yr, 2001), 2001 1st rnd (POR), 2004 1st rnd to Nuggets for 2004 1st rnd

Knicks send G Howard Eisley (1.02, 48/48, 29 yrs, 2001) and PG Randel Jackson (300k, 40/46, 25 yrs, 2002) to Jazz for Karl Malone (7.71, 54/54, 38 yrs, 2002) & F/C Bison Dele (300k, 41/41, 32 yrs, 2002)

Knicks send SG Jon Barry (1.91, 48/48, 32 yrs, 2002) & 2004 2nd rnd pick to Trail Blazers for SF Cedric Ceballos (2.28, 44/44, 32yrs, 32) & PG Eric Murdock (930k, 43/43, 33 yrs, 2002) & 2004 2nd rnd pick

So, about that whole Knicks being a playoff contender thing? I’m not sure if the Knicks got Kittles OK to do these series of trades, sending away much of their starting lineup (Anderson, Johnson, and Henderson) along with some of their older bench players along with 2 first-round picks in exchange for a 1st rounder, an aging Karl Malone who will be an expiring contract next year, and a bunch of other expiring contracts. It’s an interesting series of trades but torpedoed any real playoff hopes Knicks fans had basically days into the season.

On the other side of the trades, the Nuggets suddenly look like playoff contenders, it’s officially the dawn of a new era w/ Malone being gone in Utah, and shockingly, Portland got oh so slightly younger after a trade.

Seattle Sonics send #12 pick Courtney Alexander (1.01, 48/56, 24 yrs, 2003), 2001 2nd, and 2001 2nd (ORL) to Houston Rockets for PG Tyron Lue (870k, 53/57, 24 yrs, 2003) & C Soumalia Samake (300k, 34/39, 23 yrs, 2002)

A somewhat big trade early on, with the Seattle Sonics attempting to kickstart getting better somewhat earlier by getting rid of their #12 pick and some draft ballast in exchange for Tyrone Lue, who’s a cheap decent guard option and a third-string center to make up the contracts. Interesting risk for the Rockets, who could possibly challenge for a late playoff spot.

Mid-Season Trades & Notes

Charlotte Hornets sends SG Dion Glover (640k, 53/60, 23 yrs, 2002), PG Stephon Marbury (9.41, 53/60, 24 yrs, 2004), PG Eddie Gill (300k, 37/44, 23 yrs, 2002) & 2001 2nd rnd pick to Cleveland Cavaliers for F/C Vin Baker (8.0, 62/62, 30 yrs, 2003), G/F Dan Majerle (300k, 37/37, 36 yrs, 2002) & 2001 1st rnd pick

Despite the fact they’re fighting for a playoff spot

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

Thank you all for listening.

2000 FREE AGENCY CHAOS

In truly the first 'big' free agency in years in the NBA, nearly a dozen top-tier players changed teams, and it's time to go over them all.

The first wave of signings started the dominos falling, as to start off with, Kerry Kittles jumped across town, announcing his signing with the New York Knicks at the max of 13.92 million/yr.* Next up was Kings shooter extraordinaire Peja Stojaković signing in the Motor City for the Detroit Pistons at a near-max of 13.43 million per year. Then, Joe Smith made the Jazz a playoff threat in one signing by booting pen to paper on a max contract of $13.92 million per year. Finally, it seems that the superteam that was the T'Wolves was bound to fall apart as Ray Allen took his talents to the sunny city of Phoenix, signing with the Suns for $12.3 million per year.

The next wave of signings were some reactions to the above, and fu
